[quote=Anonymous]My 03 son attended the EXACT camp last summer in Connecticut. This was his first ID camp experience.

He will definitely attend another EXACT camp this summer.

My son starts for his WCAC HS varsity team, as well as his CCL team. Last summer he was a rising junior and too early in the process to communicate with college coaches.

He intends to play collegiate soccer.

EXACT offered multiple locations, including TX and CA, I believe. We chose CT because it was closest and the dates worked.

EXACT is for profit. The cost, when compared to a college ID camp is 2-3x more expensive. That said, a lot more coaches will see your player.

Take advantage of the discounts offered. (Why not?) Also, if you need to cancel, you can get a partial refund depending when you make your request ahead of the camp start. Another option is for EXACT to credit the full amount of your payment toward another camp.

Except for being in the middle of nowhere, the CT camp was held at a soccerplex with both indoor and outdoor fields. The registration included the camp, lodging, meals, and transportation to/from the hotel to the facility, plus a t-shirt.

Do not hold me to these numbers.

I think about 170 players attended the camp with 65 colleges represented.

My son got drill instruction, 3v3 play, 11v11 play, as well as coaching on the NCAA recruiting process, his player resume/profile, and interviewing skills.

While he did not make the all-star match, again, his overall experience was very positive. Enough so to go again this year (although to different EXACT camp, not CT.)

His individual player evaluation came from a D1 coach, who shadowed him throughout the camp.

What EXACT did was give him exposure to competitive college tryouts, skills for marketing himself to college coaches, and an objective evaluation.

Since EXACT, he attended three college ID camps (as a HS junior). Coincidentally, a D1, a D2, and a D3 camp.

While D2 and D3 seem much more likely, including a preliminary offer from both colleges, he still wants to compete for a D1 position.

If you're wondering, the college ID camps obviously give your player a better opportunity to meet and be evaluated by the entire staff, to visit the campus and actually use the soccer facilities, and to, in many cases, get a decision immediately afterward.

While the cost is less (usually $150 for the day), EXACT is fairly price competitive given it's 2 days.

Finally, if you were wondering about the colleges represented in CT, they were mostly D1 schools in the NE, MA, and SE, ranging from Ivy League to Power 5 and non-Power 5 schools.
